Today's ADAPTOBER submission comes from Matt Barker (@DigitTheAPE) in Virginia. Using a ball pitch/launch machine he provides access for all students to activities like cricket. It's ADAPTOBER - sharing the accommodations for the benefit of all!!! #AdaptedPE

Also, a solid reminder to not assume that a student has background knowledge when attempting a skill or task.

ADAPTOBER continues w/ Chris Ahrens @chrisahrens.bsky.social from San Diego with a strategy to aide students in spending more time working on striking & less time on chasing the ball. #AdaptedPE students. It's ADAPTOBER - sharing the accommodations for the benefit of all!!!

Showing students their data, when they are ready for a tracked/timed level of challenge, is such a game changer for empowering the student!

ADAPTOBER continues with Bradley Land ( @PELearnPlay ) from Arizona sharing how he makes his own soccer trainer for #Physed and #AdaptedPE students. ADAPTOBER is here! - sharing the #AdaptedPE community's accommodations for the benefit of all! Be sure to comment & repost.

This should be fantastic!

True and TRUE!

ADAPTOBER continues with Jim Hambel (@Eileenstrong925) from NYC 75 sharing how he uses silhouette visuals to support his #AdaptedPE students. It's ADAPTOBER - sharing the #AdaptedPE community's accommodations for the benefit of all!!! Be sure to comment and repost. drive.google.com/file/d/1eAAO...

ADAPTOBER - sharing the #AdaptedPE community's accommodations and adaptions for the benefit of all!!! Here is Jessica Willson, a former @MAPEC_Members president, from Harford County Public Schools with a striking implement accommodation. Be sure to comment and share!

This session sounds great! So many students would benefit from more scaffolding between introduction of equipment and small-sided game play.

ADAPTOBER - sharing the #AdaptedPE community's accommodations and adaptions for the benefit of all!!! Our next video comes from Adam Forbes, assistant professor at Norfolk State in Virginia.

For those of us who connect to learning more readily through visuals spend 10 seconds on this one, it is powerful.

Not only a visual but a gif that is directly connected to the Learning Target, so helpful for students who may need more support AND enables the teacher to circulate more instead of modeling over and over. This is a terrific example an accommodation that could be submitted for "ADAPTOBER".

It's time for ADAPTOBER!!! Our first accommodation of the month comes from Bradley Land - Deer Valley Unified School District in Arizona!

FACT!

2 days and counting until "Adaptober" begins! We can't do it without you! Scan the QR code to submit a :30 second video of an accommodation you use. Be sure to include your name and role too! forms.gle/zz9y6Bp4CFSd...

Every learner benefits from support!

Looking forward to this! AND It is free to join!

Adaptober is only 8 days away! We are seeking to share the accommodations and adaptations #AdaptedPE and #Physed teachers make all month long. There is still time to submit your :30 video showcasing something you do. forms.gle/4badBmKqi4rJ...

SO TRUE!

A solid balanced strategy for providing feedback for students at all levels.

Have you visited our website lately? sites.google.com/site/marylan... You can: -Get details on our latest events -Ask a questions -View previous webinars -Learn more about MAPEC -Access SHAPE MD -and more

Answers to some❓ we've received about the upcoming "Adaptober" event: -You don't have to be a MAPEC member to share -You can submit more than one adaptation -Submissions should be completed by Sept. 30th. -It doesn't have to be a new idea, tired & true adaptations are great!

Have you registered for the SHAPE MD Convention in Ocean City on November 15th? We are hearing there will be an impressive representation of #AdaptedPE sessions. More details about the event are here: www.shapemd.org/2025-convent...

Great thing about all these items too is they are inexpensive tools that can have an outsized impact on students ability to engage in activities.

If the school year is already feeling like A LOT, it's ok. The year flows, and eventually ebbs. If you need additional time, support or resources talk to your team, administration, and educational associates. You can do this but it doesn't all have to be done today.

Setting and adhering to consistent expectations is so helpful for students!

This Wednesday at 7:00pm you can learn research based strategies for how to level up your webinars, PD sessions, and trainings. If you are presenting in SY 25-26 you should join us. docs.google.com/forms/d/1jDS...

This happens in some PE programs too. Students with Adapted PE on their IEP and/or an aide are still part of the class.

That's our president @bhunterinbmore.bsky.social on the cover! Concise and helpful content throughout the article!

A stellar explainer on "Is UDL the same as Differentiation"!

This is exactly the type of accommodation we hope folks will share for our upcoming "Adaptober" event. All this month we are collecting submission, via the QR code on the flyer, to then be shared all month long in October.

Sounds like a great opprotunity to learn and grow!

We are already getting submissions for Adaptober which is coming next month! This month is when you can submit a short video showcasing an accommodation or adaptation you use in your practice. Submit using the QR code on the flyer.

Beautiful!

We're partnering w/ SHAPE MD to host a webinar on 9/17. Kelsey Higginson, from Minot State University, will present "Learning to Facilitate". If you want pro level strategies on how to level up your presentations & webinars, this is a must attend event! Use the QR code to register.

A quote was shared with me early in my teaching career regarding grading: "The mean is mean" Taking the mean or average penalizes students for not having background knowledge at the start of the learning cycle!

This could be such a helpful tool!

We are now collecting submissions for "Adaptober"! We want more #AdaptedPE & #Physed folks to see your awesome accommodations and adaptations. Simply record a short video, under :35, and submit using this link or the QR code on the flyer. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

If all the group of students has in common is having an IEP, there is not way a resource room teacher can provide real intervention. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEd #MTSS #UDL #EdChat

Appreciate your efforts to continue to advocate for #AdaptedPE beyond Maryland!

We just sent out our September Newsletter via email. If you received it that means you are a MAPEC member. Want to receive it but didn't - sign-up to be a member, it's free and takes mere minutes to sign-up. forms.gle/zf4EyZLCpf6V...

💯

This could be really helpful for some to illustrate the steps most students may need to build competence and feel successful. Interested to see where this goes...

Paraprofessionals are essential—and they deserve professional development, too. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter

♥️ the student voice approach to this effort.
